Promiscuous mode ethernet packet sniffer

Customer would like to write an application to catch packets
and examine each one, possibly store to disk.
What is the 6.2 recommended/suggested way of going about it?
Thanks in advance

Check the Network DDK and write their own “Filter Module”.
Or install tcpdump from the public cdrom :slight_smile:

You could also contact Jean-Hugues Royer, the author of phnetprobe.

The filter module seems to be the way to do it.
Is there a simple but complete example how to tie everything together?
The docs explain a lot, but a complete example would
be really useful as a starting point…
